Q12 asks for the number of known extant (current) populations. Please consult theGuidance document on how populations can be defined. Examples for particular taxonomic groups are provided. In there, you will also find information on metapopulations and how to quantify recently fragmented populations.
IMPORTANT: the number of populations entered in Q12 will influence how many specific population sections appear in Section 5 (e.g. for entering Ne or Nc information), with the limit on the Kobo Form set to 100 populations. However, if more than 100 populations exist, an option will be provided to upload their information using a tab delimited file (QX) .
